To potty training's toilsome scene.

You deserve the finest for your loving care,

But from me, these verses you'll happily share.

Bereaved Mother's Day Poem

For those who have lost their mothers, Mother’s Day can be bittersweet. A heartfelt poem can serve as a beautiful tribute to honor her memory.

• Divine Lord, if in your heavenly garden bloom

Radiant roses by jubilee shores' illuming ray,

Would you pick the fairest petaled array

And deliver to my mother who left earth's room?

For on this Mother's Day, her presence I cannot seek,

Angels having ushered her to celestial peak.

So if paradise roses in splendor unfurl,

Pluck a dozen to my dearly missed mother to unfurl.

Tell her I love and miss her nurturing grace,

Though joyful in knowing we'll reunite, embrace,

Admiring those blossoms in jubilee's endless day,

Together in gardens where roses forever hold sway.

• If heaven's sacred windows unveiled a view,

Amidst celestial beauty, I'd gaze for you.

To hear your laughter's melody once more,

See your radiant smile that my heart's core bore.

Though physically apart on this earthly plane,

Within my soul, your loving light remains.

I envision your peace in heaven's blissful abode,

Waiting for me at your kitchen's humble road.

This boundless love transcends all earthly words,

If I could, your thoughts from above would be heard.

Guiding memories of your blessings imbue

Each step I take - heavenly windows, I'd look for you.

Welcoming us home with love profuse,

The eternal angel - our mother.

A mother's essence shines true.

Embodying all that's precious and pure,

Virtues that godliness imbues.
